Donaubikeland - Rostbraten-Runde
On Saturday some colleagues from work and I made good use of the last fair weekend in the golden October and we embarked on the Rostbraten-Runde in and around the valley of the Danube river.
We took the trains to Beuron and started out in the river valley. Honestly I could have taken a photo every other 100m. It was just so magical with the rocky towers nestled in between the autumn colours of the woods next to the slow flowing river.
A short and punchy climb took us out of the valley and we visited the lady from the reception at our company, who had invited us for a Weißwurstfrühstück after learning we would pass a few 100m from where she lives.
Freshly recharged or stuffed with food and beer - however you take it, we continued on. From this point on the route mostly followed paved roads with little traffic. Nevertheless, the website with the tour description set the pavement to gravel ratio at 51:49%. In reality it was closer to 80% for the pavement. Also there was a lot of wind, mostly from the front.
We fought our way to the Castle Wildenstein, where we tried to take a shortcut following a hiking trail down into the river valley. The trail however was only rideable with serious Trial skills. Aside from an Enduro rider with a professional license, non of us had anything close those skills, so we followed the original route on the road. At least there were some tight switchbacks (for the cars).
Back at the river, we took a break at a Biergarten for coffee and cake (I know :D). And then the rest of the tour we followed the river upstream to Beuron, where we took the trains back home.

TBW N1 - The first leg of the north route of the Trans Bayerwald Tour 2024
A year ago today I started on the first leg of the north route of the TBW which leads from Passau to Wegscheid over 50km and 725m vertical. Officially the start of the N1 is at the Veste Oberhaus, but it didn't make sense to me to climb up 150m of elevation just to roll back down again on the same path. Besides I would tackle this bit on the last segment of the south route anyhow.
The first 20km followed the Danube river cycling path until Obernhaus and from there the route went steep. There was a really taxing bit on an old cobble stone road through the woods.
Since I started on May 1st I had to take my first detour because in some village the route was blocked by a crane erecting the Maypole. After that the path led over rolling hills, through a bit of forest (beware of Bavarian crocodiles) and along a little creek to the Lake Ranna.
After a bit of a rest at the lake I crossed over to Kappel in Austria, where I would stay the night.

If you are interested in this tour yourself check out the official website https://www.trans-bayerwald.de. You can find any and all information regarding the TBW on this website.
